Which of the following best describes the effect of allosteric regulation?

  2. It involves binding at a site other than the active site.
  3. It only occurs in competitive inhibition.
  4. It is only relevant in prokaryotic organisms.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following best describes the effect of allosteric regulation?
  • Step 1: Understand that enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Know that enzymes have a specific area called the active site where substrates (the molecules they act on) bind.
  • Step 3: Learn that allosteric regulation happens when a molecule binds to a different site on the enzyme, not the active site.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this binding can change the shape of the enzyme, which can either increase or decrease its activity.
  • Step 5: Conclude that allosteric regulation is important for controlling how enzymes work in various processes.
